I think it was Thursday this past week (9/19), but maybe a different day. Radiant red CT4VBW heading west on I76 merging onto 422 near King of Prussia, PA. I was in my BW and revved at him as I passed. Car looked nice. Not sure if it’s someone from here.

Not sure I can capture from inside the car with my phone. Let me work on it and see if I can get anything usable.

The car has had this noise from the beginning. I believe maybe some people have figured out similar things on their 5’s. Please help. During idle, but especially when I load the motor with the clutch when starting from 1st gear, there is a metal vibrating noise, almost like loose change that...

Dang! I am sorry to hear about all those troubles. Get them to take it back and order one of the 2025’s with the new track improved suspension. :)

The first thing GM did was ask them to pull the oil pan and check the main crankshaft after sending them a TSB about main bearing failures along with a video of that noise… Luckily it sounded nothing like my motor, and they confirmed the lifter problem. Many lifter issues on the LT4 corvettes...

Well, on top of my other issues I have been having, I got these messages when I started the car to head home from work today. Steering felt a little different than normal, but very drivable. Guess it’s a wait and see if it keeps coming up and if I need more things replaced on the car…:confused:

So I got my car (2024) back without a total motor replacement. I think it’s better this way, but nervous of possible damage elsewhere in the motor. Long story short, one of my lifters failed and caused the pushrod to get bent. They worked with GM to check for other damage and take...

Have fun everyone! Unfortunately I can’t make since my car still isn’t fully operational after engine repairs, but would have loved to make it out.

Well, you can add me to the list of people with wrecked motors. 5VBW, M6 transmission. I followed break-in for 1500 miles, did an early oil change right after reaching that milestone, now at 6500 miles the motor is ruined. It started making noise a couple weeks ago that I could faintly hear...

I had some issues with the seats until I read the manual and realized I had to hold down the memory seat button to fully slide and set my settings back up after a different driver. I was just pressing it once and it would barely move and I thought it was broken.

I saw your car! I forgot about that as I was distracted by the Mountain Dew Holden SS next to you. :ROFLMAO:

This sounds like fun, but not sure I can swing it. I will be at Spring Mountain the week prior and I’m sure I will have stuff to catch up on when I return.

They changed the location. I went to the one in June and saw a 5V and a 5VBW. I plan on going to the next one on 7/14. Anyone else plan on attending?

Went to cars and coffee and parked next to a Gen 3 V. I didn’t see the owner to talk with them though.

I will probably try to make it if my schedule allows and I can get my car cleaned in time. I’ll park in the Americans area and try to find other BWs. I have been to 3-4 of these before and never saw a Blackwing. The turnout is giant though and there are a lot of cool cars.

I am not against EVs. I had a Model Y for 3 years. It worked great or me, but got a little boring. Your 300 miles of range in Detroit winter will likely be about 150-200 so you will probably have to charge a little more than you expect. I’m with you on taking a free car to better protect the...

Realized I never posted any photos. Tried to throw some in to really show the paint for reference to others looking to get ideas. A lot of nice photos in this thread already.

I would be up for that if I wasn’t out of town that weekend! Bummer. Maybe next time.

Does anyone with an Infrared Tintcoat live around the Philly area that would want to get together sometime to line up a Radiant Red and Infrared side-by-side for comparison photos? I have a RR 5BW.

My first car is the green Camaro on the left. 1995 Camaro V6, 5-spd manual. Insurance is rough on 16yos... The red 1998 Camaro SS was my fathers, which I now own and still drive around.
